If we are made in a non-existent god's image, does this mean He is also bothered by piles and shortness of breath? We're classified as mammals who originally crawled out of the sea. As some religions would have it, homo sapiens will be sent to heaven, hell or someplace just off the map when they die. Why does this not apply to other mammals that were more fortunate than we, and have not yet evolved to our pitiful state? I mean, if I were to believe in an afterlife of angels and/or devils, then logic would dictate that angels and devils await all living things. Including my dog whom I pray goes to hell in a handbasket.

Such theories which are brought before us are imagination of organised religions. If you have faith, you should not argue and just believe in them but if you are arguing then you should not believe them and they will call you infidel.

Your dog aside, this is what happens when pagan teachings are mixed with Biblical ones--false information taught as true.
People want teachings they like regardless of whether they are true to have their ears tickled. (2Tim. 4:3)

The Bible tells us flesh and blood can't enter heaven. (1Cor.15:50) Only spirit creatures exist there.

Contrary to current opinion, the hope of going to heaven for humans did not exist until after the last Passover Jesus had on earth. He then started a new covenant with faithful followers--not the whole world--for a select number to rule as kings and priests with him in his kingdom. (Luke 22:28-30; Rev. 7:4; 14:1, 3-5)

Today's clergy leave out the earth entirely as it further tickles people's ears to believe all go to heaven. With that kind of reasoning, why bother with earthly life? Why not eliminate the "middle man" and go straight to heaven? Any monetary success you have here, you can't take it with you. There are no "condos in heaven" you can purchase. Televangelists go to prison for attempting such things.

What the Bible says is an uncountable number will live on earth forever. Notice Revelations 7:9, 14-17 saying they stand before the throne, as subjects to, not on the throne. Some live through the "Great Tribulation". Others are part of the resurrection foretold in Acts 24:15.

These people can possess the earth forever. (Ps.37:10-11; Proverbs 2:21-22) As Revelations 21:4 explains the cleansed earth will be a paradise where there is no more need for tears of pain we have today due to the bad things man does to one another. Even death will be no more. Would that not be a terrific time?

But you will never hear any of that from the clergy. Their paycheck depends on keeping men happy and that means telling them they are all going to heaven no matter what they do. Jesus knew this and at Matthew 15:9 he said, "It is in vain that they keep worshiping me because they teach commands of men as doctrine."

The term "image" is an error. To have an image means to have limits in structure. Since God has no beginning and end and no circumference -- being infinite -- (His center is everywhere, while His circumference is nowhere," as a very old saying has it.) The image thing applies to illimitable substance rather than form. All matter was once the spiritual substance of God's being, but he chose to decrease the vibration or wavelength of his substance of being. From this act all forms of matter were created. Each form of matter has a different vibration or wavelength differentiating it from other forms ot types.
Souls have a vibration much higher than physical matter but yet much lower than that of God -- hence souls were, when they were of a higher vibration, of God's substance and still have the same inherrent nature (the mysterious "image") that one day, after what they call "salvation" will be restored. Hence, we as souls, will be restored to that vibration -- the vibration and nature of God.

The thing about hell was created by the writers of the New Testament after the crucifixion, because non-Christians rejected their new message. Hell used to be termed "death" by the earlier founders and it meant NOT bodily death, but the temporal death of the soul when it became tangled in the flesh of incarnation -- e.g., "the flesh pots of Egypt."

This also allows for an answer to another question by someone else on this board asking what is "salvation." Salvation is the final awakening of the soul after its restoration to the original vibrtation, its abandonment of the fleshly container, and its return to the spiritual world from which it came.

It is held by churchianity that since animals are not capable of distinguishing between right and wrong, they can't be held responsible for what they do -- one of a very few logical assumptions on their part, I might add.`

By the way, avoiding the complications of this explanation, souls are living fields of force (in physics known as "force fields".) This living energy is something like film upon which is captured 3-D images and sounds of the very people and things we loved while in the flesh. Like holograms they have being, sound, and feel as real as they would have here and now but only a much igher hi-def, so to speak . For all intents & purposed they are as real as what we seem here and now to be. All perceptions we now have are experienced only within the picture screens of our heads and nowhere else.
The same will apply over there but originating from within souls after having been deposited therein during the flesh-life.

The Tao must be defined as God. despite the fact that, each and every person is a factor of the Tao devoid of attempt. there's no want for salvation because of the fact there is no longer something to be forgiven for nor to. there's no action to get everywhere. each and every person has their own tao that's a factor of the great Tao. there's no "precise" or 'incorrect" in elementary terms people who circulate with nature and people who war with it. you're after which you're actually not there's no undertaking for after or until eventually now in elementary terms the now, on condition that it is all you incredibly have besides. To plenty undertaking is placed on after now. Morality is, by using theory, defined by using the guy in nature. Do you think of that nature has a ethical stability? if so, then in case you persevere with nature you're ethical.

God is not nonexistant to me, I feel his presense everyday and see him working everyday, of course I am a born again Christian and that is the only way you are ever going have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The mammel thing is a manmade thing. And there willbe animals in heaven. Jesus Christ died on a cross for you and me. Did you ever notice that every time you see a cross it reminds you of Him, When you see three crosses together if gives you a totally different feeling, like spiritual. It does me, Our sins separate us from God, Jesus came and was our Perfect Sacrifice, the Bible says that blood is the only atonement for sin, since Jesus was the Son of God and Perfect, His blood atones for our sins, when he arose from the Grave he forever opened the door to Salvation to all who will believe. Our lives are more spiritual than natural, an inner person is where our joy and peace comes from, not our old fleshly bodies, flesh dies, our spirit will never die. If you are a Born Again believer in Jesus an angel will escort you to Heaven, if not, well the old devil is waiting. Getting saved will get you a real God, the old devil would like nothing more than to fool you into thinking there is no such thing, he is a liar and the father it, John 8:44, here is a sinners prayer, if you pray this believing you will be saved, pray it will all your heart and soul, and you will feel and see a change in you and in the world, just pray Dear Jesus, I know and confess that I am sinner in need of salvation. I believe you died on a cross at calvery and arose from the grave to wash away my sins, I ask you right now to come into my heart and save me, I pray this Prayer believing in the name of Jesus Amen. If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart you are now a child of God, rejoice that your name is written in the Lambs book of Life. Jesus will now send his Holy Spirit to come and live in your heart and guide you into all truth. If you have any questions just send me an email, God Bless YOU!!

The animals of this earth to us aren't looked as superiors. So at our eyes, we don't very much see that animals can pass away and go to a better\worse place. Bless you and your dogs soul for I pray for the best.

Shame on you. :( I'm sure your doggie will go somewhere and it isn't hell.

Mediums and psychics tell of a "rainbow bridge" where our pets go. There are hills, meadows, green grass, sunshine, and plenty of food and water. They play and are healthy. Then one day they stop playing and look off into the distance. Then he takes off running..... to meet his human friend that has finally come home too.

As far as the ailments, I think they just come along with the body - we aren't meant to live on this plane forever.

You sound like a miserable person. I'm sorry. :(
